May 12, 2023 - From the winery. Quite balanced, rich, with just the right acidity, some depth and power. This is quite a well-rounded and expressive Chardonnay, somewhere between buttery and precise. I much preferred this to the more expensive single-vineyard expression I tasted alongside.

On the avg side for wines tonight. Athe nose is Lemon up front. The palette is lemon peel with a brief apricot nut mid palette and more melon finish. -
